Yes, my case is with the same version, literally:
build>echo create database regression>c:\temp\dump.sql
build>set olddump=c:\temp\dump.sql& set oldinstall=%CD%/tmp_install/usr/local/pgsql& meson test pg_upgrade/002_pg_upgrade

So removing the condition "if ($oldnode->pg_version != $newnode->pg_version)"
works here as well, but maybe switching the file mode (to preserve EOLs
produced by pg_dump) in the block "After dumping, update references ..."
is more efficient than filtering dumps (on all OSes?).

Best regards,
